Volume 1 Chapter 403 Old Village Secretary

Wang Haisheng saw Li Tianchao walking towards the coffin and asked nervously, "Mr. Li, where are you going?"

"Open the coffin." Li Tiantou said without replying.

Open the coffin?

Wang Haisheng and four others were greatly shocked.

How can this be!

The main force has not arrived yet and no protective measures have been taken. If they rashly open the coffin now, it will cause irreversible damage to the body, which goes against the original purpose of their archaeological excavation.

But Li Tian couldn't care less about that now. He had to see if the masked woman looked exactly like Gu Ruoxi.

In a flash, he arrived in front of the white jade coffin, then raised his hand and pushed open the coffin lid that weighed several hundred pounds.

When he saw the scene in the coffin, Li Tian was stunned like a sculpture.

Seeing this, Wang Haisheng ran over quickly.

Wu Yuanliang, Liu Zhen, and Zhou Tienan were also curious about what was in the coffin. Why did Li Tian, ​​who was like a monster, look like he had seen a ghost?

When they ran closer and took a look, they were all dumbfounded and subconsciously held their breath. Apart from the sound of their own uncontrollable heartbeats, they could not hear any other sound.

"Oh my God, how is this possible!" Wu Yuanliang's eyes widened in shock.

Inside the coffin, there was a woman in an ancient white palace dress lying flat.

With her hands on her lower abdomen, her three thousand black hair flowed like water waves, revealing bursts of brilliance. She was wearing a veil, but even so, one could still guess how peerless and enchanting her face was beneath the veil.

It’s the masked woman on the mural!

It's been at least two thousand years, but the body doesn't show any signs of decay. On the contrary, the skin is white with a hint of red, as if the person is not dead but just sleeping.

"Is she dead or alive?" Zhou Tienan took a few steps back, his face full of panic.

Liu Zhen tightened the hunting rifle in his hand. He had been to many graves, but this time, he felt a chill down his spine.

Li Tian didn't care and reached out to take off her veil.

A face that was as beautiful as a country and a city immediately appeared in front of everyone, with perfect red lips, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Zhou Tienan and Liu Zhen, who were originally frightened, were deeply attracted by this stunning beauty and stared at the woman in the coffin infatuatedly.

"So beautiful..." Zhou Tienan swallowed and said blankly.

"It's exactly the same as on the mural." Liu Zhen said.

Even Wang Haisheng and Wu Yuanliang were stunned.

Li Tian's eyes widened, he was really dumbfounded. This ancient tomb, which was at least two thousand years old, had an owner who looked exactly like Gu Ruoxi, the only difference was that one was in modern clothes while the other was in ancient costume. They each had their own style. Gu Ruoxi in ancient costume was even more beautiful than in modern clothes.

Is this really a woman from ancient times, rather than Gu Ruoxi in ancient costume?

Li Tian was so confused that he couldn't tell the difference between the woman in the coffin and Gu Ruoxi in reality. There was no difference between the two people; they were the same person.

He took out his cell phone, walked aside, and quickly dialed Gu Ruoxi's number.

He opened an ancient tomb and found that the tomb owner looked exactly like his wife, lying in front of him vividly, which made Li Tian a little crazy. He urgently needed to confirm that these were actually two different people.

However, this is seven or eight meters underground, there is no signal, and the phone cannot be dialed.

Although the cell phone was converted into a satellite phone by Department A, it can only be used to communicate with Department A. To communicate with other people, it still has to rely on the network signals of the three major operators.

Li Tian had no choice but to put his phone away and call again after he got out.

He walked back to the coffin and checked the woman in the coffin. It was Gu Ruoxi in ancient costume, which made him a little upset.

Wait, this is... Aura?

Li Tian calmed himself down for a moment and discovered that the entire coffin was surrounded by rich spiritual energy.

His eyes were instantly fixed on the jade pendant on the woman's neck.

The jade pendant was all white and engraved with intricate patterns, and the spiritual energy emanated from this jade pendant.

Improving his strength has always been his potential need, so he immediately reached out and took out the jade pendant.

The moment the jade pendant left the woman's chest, it seemed as if the sleeping woman turned to ashes in an instant, and both her clothes and body turned into dust in the air.

When the woman turned to ashes, Li Tian's heart ached, as if Gu Ruoxi had turned to ashes.

"This……"

Wang Haisheng was stunned on the spot. If it was his subordinate, he would have immediately started swearing and even hit him. But since the one who was making trouble was Li Tian, ​​he didn't dare to say a word.

Everyone else also figured it out. It turned out that the reason why the masked woman's body had not decayed and remained lifelike after thousands of years was because of the jade pendant in Li Tian's hand.

But there's nothing special about this jade pendant. How can it keep a corpse from decaying?

Li Tian frowned, secretly regretting his rash behavior.

"Here you go."

He gave the jade pendant to Wang Haisheng. His current strength is sufficient for the time being. What he is anxious to know now is all the information about the masked woman. He will not take anything in the ancient tomb for himself. He asked Wang Haisheng to take it back and study it carefully so as to find out the origin of the masked woman as soon as possible.

Wang Haisheng took the jade pendant in his hand and quickly put it into the bag used to store cultural relics.

Li Tian walked out and wanted to get in touch with Gu Ruoxi as soon as possible. The shadow was too big, making it seem as if he and Gu Ruoxi would never see each other again. He had to talk to Gu Ruoxi slowly via video.

At this moment, a gunshot was suddenly heard outside.

Oh no, something happened!

"Come with me quickly, something happened upstairs." Li Tianchong, Wang Haisheng and others shouted and immediately ran towards the front room.

Wang Haisheng and his men were completely confused. With their hearing ability, they naturally could not hear the gunshots on the ground.

But since Li Tian said something happened, it must be true.

The four of them quickly put down their work, and with the fastest and most dexterity, they crawled out of the hole they came from, and then climbed up along the hole they dug.

It is always dark underground, but above the ground it is brightly sunny. The blinding sunlight makes them feel a little uncomfortable when they just crawl out of the cave.

When their eyes adjusted, everyone's face turned pale.

Nangong Huan'er, Lin Lan, and Zhao Han, the three of them were lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

"Huan'er." Zhou Tienan ran towards Nangong Huan'er.

"Don't worry, they are all fine, they were just knocked unconscious." Li Tian said calmly, his eyes alertly looking around.

It should be the dark shadow that appeared a few days ago!

It wasn't murder, but the person was knocked unconscious, so it can basically be ruled out that it was done by heaven.

Who is that black shadow?

"We in Shiqiao Village have guarded this ancient tomb for generations to ensure that it would not be disturbed. Even our own people did not know its exact location until our generation. But you found it. The experts who came from Beijing are really amazing."

An old voice sounded.

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw an old man wearing a tattered short-sleeved shirt and a pipe stuck on his waist walking out of the woods.

Wang Haisheng, Wu Yuanliang, Liu Zhen, and Zhou Tienan were shocked.

"Old village secretary?"
